Chen Xuan maintained his gentle smile and said, "Thank you, Valley Master Liu."
Liu Mansha looked at Xia Ruofei's excessively young face. Perhaps it was because she thought of the two handwritten copies of the "Linlang's True Explanation", but the trace of unhappiness in her heart quickly dissipated.
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "Fellow Chen is decisive, and Fellow Xia is also very courageous. The two of you should be able to become good friends."
Chen Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Xia and I hit it off quite well. We feel like old friends at first sight. That's right, although the Five Sacred Badges haven't been found yet, since the fourth one has appeared, the fifth one shouldn't be too far away. In the future, when the five badges are combined, it will definitely involve exploring the secrets of the Five Sacred Badges together. I have already promised Brother Xia that I will give him a spot when the time comes! "
Liu Mansha's beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal a strange look. Although the fifth badge was still missing, Chen Xuan had promised to give Xia Ruofei a spot. This was a big favor.
In the future, when the five badges were combined, the factions with the badges would definitely cooperate to explore the secret. At the very least, the Soaring Flower Valley, the Surging Wave Sect, and the Heavenly Sect didn't want to have a conflict with each other. They also didn't have absolute confidence in snatching the badges from each other. Therefore, a win-win situation was inevitable.
However, even so, when the time came, there wouldn't be many spots for each faction. After all, if there were too many people, it would be easy for things to go wrong.
According to Liu Mansha's thoughts, it would be best if each badge only had two or three spots. They could bring a capable assistant and a key disciple. Any more than that wouldn't be suitable.
She knew that the Heavenly Sect and the Surging Wave Sect had similar thoughts.
In this way, even if the Heavenly Sect had two badges, they would only have six spots. Obviously, each spot was very precious.
Chen Xuan actually promised to give Xia Ruofei a spot in order to borrow 110,000 spirit stones.
Liu Mansha saw something different. At least one thing she could confirm was that Chen Xuan had shown enough goodwill to Xia Ruofei.
Compared to the strength of the Star Picking Sect and the Heavenly Sect and their status in the cultivation world, this kind of goodwill was naturally very precious to Xia Ruofei. At least in Liu Mansha's opinion.
She actually quite admired Xia Ruofei, so she was very happy for Xia Ruofei.
Liu Mansha also knew that Chen Xuan was informing her in advance. Although they didn't know where the fifth badge was, after all, a cultivator's lifespan was much longer than an ordinary person's. They still had a high chance of gathering all five badges in the future, to a certain extent, they still had a long life... and cultivators cultivators lifespan had had a much longer life than Cultivators. and the Soaring Wave Wave sect, they had a lot for that..
Although Chen Xuan was the young master of the Heavenly Sect, he always gave the outside world the impression that he was very gentle and cultured.
Although he had broken through to the Gold Core Stage in his early forties, which was definitely a shocking speed in the current cultivation world, he had never shown an overbearing look in front of others. Even when facing low-level cultivators, his tone was very kind.
Young Master Chen's friendliness was well known in the world of cultivation.
Liu Mansha thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Is that so? Then I'll congratulate Fellow Xia first! "
Xia Ruofei also said with a smile, "Thank you, Valley Master Liu!"
Chen Xuan said with a smile, "You two have a good chat. I'll go back to my room first. The auction is not over yet!"
Chen Xuan came out to borrow Spirit Stones, so naturally, someone in his room would continue to follow up with the auction. However, since the Spirit Stones were already in his hands, he had to go back as soon as possible. With enough Spirit Stones, he could show his determination to buy it.
Liu Mansha smiled and said, "Since we're already late, I have nothing else to discuss with Fellow Xia. I'll go back first!"
Xia Ruofei stood at the door of the room and said with a smile, "Okay, take care!"
Xia Ruofei watched Liu Mansha and Chen Xuan leave before returning to the room. He sat down on the sofa and leaned comfortably on the soft back. After lending the Spirit Stones, today's auction was over for him. In the end, the Five Sages Token had nothing to do with him.
Luo Qingfeng sat next to him and asked carefully, "Master, why didn't you find a way to buy the Five Sages Token? It's a very rare treasure! "
Xia Ruofei spread out his hands and said, "We don't have enough Spirit Stones! You know, we only have a little more than 110,000 Spirit Stones. Look at the current price. It's more than 130,000 Spirit Stones. We don't have the ability! "
Luo Qingfeng said in a low voice, "In fact, Master can still use other treasures to offset the Spirit Stones. Master, you only need to promise to give as many Qi Gathering Pills as possible. They will definitely be more popular than Spirit Stones!"
Although a single Qi Gathering Pill wasn't worth too many Spirit Stones, Xia Ruofei could increase the price without limit. After all, the cost of refining the Qi Gathering Pill was very low, and most of the ingredients were ordinary herbs. The most important thing was the Spirit Qi. Compared to the rich Spirit Qi in the Ring-Tu space, the little Spirit Qi consumed to refine the Qi Gathering Pill was nothing.
Therefore, in theory, Xia Ruofei could increase the price without limit.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Why do you have to go through so much trouble? If we lend out the Spirit Stones, the firepower will be spread out, and then we can receive interest, right? "
The "interest" Xia Ruofei mentioned was naturally the quota that Chen Xuan had given out.
Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Master, what you said makes sense. The competition for the token is nothing more than wanting to explore the legendary secret of the Five Saints Token. Since Chen Xuan has promised to give you a quota, it won't affect your exploration of this secret."
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "There is another consideration. The foundation of the Star Picking Sect is still a little weak. Although it won't cause any disaster because of this token, after all, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages."
Luo Qingfeng was moved and said, "Master, you are so thoughtful."
While the two were chatting, the auction was still going on.
But now they were very relaxed and were completely in the mode of watching a show.
In the end, with 110,000 Spirit Stones, the Tianyi Gate won the Five Saints Token without any suspense.
In the end, the final transaction price was also astonishing, reaching as much as 190,000 Spirit Stones.
This price had far exceeded the expectations of Liu Mansha, Luo Feng, and the others. When they saw this price, they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads. Even if there weren't so many accidents, the Spirit Stones they brought were not enough to compete for this token.
Liu Mansha and the others had underestimated the attractiveness of the Five Saints Token.
Of course, there were more or less unexpected factors that caused the price to be raised so high.
This unexpected factor was the Black Dragon Sect.
This time, the Black Dragon Sect's preparations were more than expected, and the Spirit Stones they brought far exceeded Liu Mansha's expectations.
The second half of the auction was basically a competition between the Tianyi Gate and the Black Dragon Sect.
When the price reached 180,000 Spirit Stones, the Black Dragon Sect was still holding on.
And this number was basically the limit of the Tianyi Gate.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xuan had borrowed 110,000 Spirit Stones from Xia Ruofei in advance, they really might not be able to compete with the Black Dragon Sect.
However, with this large number of Spirit Stones from Xia Ruofei, the Tianyi Gate could be said to be full of confidence, because they already had close to 300,000 Spirit Stones on hand.
Therefore, when the price had just exceeded 180,000 Spirit Stones, Chen Xuan directly bid 190,000 Spirit Stones.
The Black Dragon Sect, which had been very tenacious in following the bidding, probably didn't have enough Spirit Stones and suddenly stopped bidding.
As a result, Chen Xuan obtained the Five Saints Token as he wished. This was also the second Five Saints Token owned by the Tianyi Gate.
In fact, the Tianyi Gate had more or less this number of Spirit Stones. Although it was slightly less, it wasn't much. Therefore, the Spirit Stones they borrowed from Xia Ruofei were actually not much. At most, it was just a fraction of the Spirit Stones.
However, if it weren't for Xia Ruofei's Spirit Stones, the Tianyi Gate would have basically lost this time.
In this way, the Black Dragon Sect would have obtained a Five Saints Token, which would add a lot of variables to the future.
Therefore, although not many Spirit Stones were used, Xia Ruofei's act of borrowing Spirit Stones could be said to be a timely help. Chen Xuan had to accept this favor.
In Box 20, Xia Ruofei saw that the auction was over and couldn't help but say with a smile, "Today's auction was really wonderful!"
In fact, this was the first time that Xia Ruofei had really come into contact with people in the cultivation world. For him, everything was very new.
Of course, in fact, this auction was really full of ups and downs. Luo Qingfeng had participated in many auctions, and he had to admit that this auction was indeed much more wonderful than the previous ones.
Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "Because Master participated in this auction, so there were so many wonderful stories!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "You're flattering me! My cultivation is nothing in front of those big shots of the sects. In fact, it was the last auction that stirred up the auction. It had nothing to do with us. I still know that. "
Luo Qingfeng said with a smile, "Master, you're a little too modest. You're even a little belittling yourself! If the Sect Leaders and Elders of those sects knew of your true cultivation, their jaws would definitely drop! "
At this time, Hao Qingsong, who was on the main auction stage, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were some episodes in the auction, on the whole, it had been completed smoothly. As the host of the auction, Hao Qingsong had been worried all the time.
In particular, Xia Ruofei had repeatedly encountered unexpected situations, which caught Hao Qingsong off guard.
He said, "Thank you, fellow cultivators! This auction has come to a successful end! We have prepared a banquet, and we welcome all of you to join us! "
The banquet after the auction was basically the same as before. It was mainly to provide a platform for cultivators to communicate face to face. Sometimes, the banquet after the auction would also facilitate many private transactions between cultivators.
After all, some treasures could not be easily priced with Spirit Stones. Cultivators exchanged what they needed and bartered for what they needed. This was the mainstream way of private transactions.
Of course, not everyone was keen on participating in such an exchange.
For example, Chen Xuan, who was from the Tianyi Sect, said directly as soon as Hao Qingsong finished speaking, "Thank you for your kind invitation, Fellow Cultivator Hao, but we still have some urgent matters to deal with in our sect. The people of the Tianyi Sect will take our leave first."
Then, some cultivators who didn't like to join in the fun also said goodbye.
Xia Ruofei also stood up and said with a smile, "We should also go."
"Yes!" Luo Qingfeng said quickly.
Then, he also said goodbye to Hao Qingsong on behalf of the Star Picking Sect.
Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng walked out of the box together and happened to see some cultivators coming out of the boxes in twos and threes. Some of the cultivators who had participated in the auction and even had grudges against each other would not choose to leave the box at this time if they didn't want to reveal their identities. The people who came out now naturally didn't care about the number of boxes they were in.
Xia Ruofei was like this because he had already revealed his identity.
Wu Ming and the others were also in the same situation. They directly walked out of the box.
Wu Ming noticed Xia Ruofei immediately. His eyes flickered and he glanced at Xia Ruofei maliciously.
During the auction of the Five Saints Token, Xia Ruofei only bid 110,000 Spirit Stones and didn't bid any more. To be honest, Wu Ming felt a little regretful. The result he wanted to see the most was naturally the people from the Star Picking Sect get the Spirit Stones. Then, he would kill Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng on the way. In this way, not only would he get the Five Saints Token, but also the Flying Phoenix Rings that he had been longing for, and even the mysterious ore that made him so resentful, would all be his.
However, Wu Ming didn't expect that Xia Ruofei, who was very strong when fighting against him, would actually give up after bidding once.
Wu Ming watched helplessly as the Five Saints Token fell into the hands of the First Heaven Sect. No matter how brave he was, he knew that the Five Saints Token was not fated with him.
However, Wu Ming was still concerned about the storage rings that Xia Ruofei had obtained. Therefore, when he heard Luo Qingfeng bid farewell, he immediately called Luo Feng and left the box together.
Since the people from the Star Picking Sect weren't going to participate in the banquet, Wu Ming had to quickly chase after them. Otherwise, it would be difficult to stop them if they lost sight of them. After all, Luo Qingfeng was a Golden Core cultivator. It wouldn't be a problem for him to fly with Xia Ruofei on his sword.
When the time came, the sky would be vast and cultivators wouldn't have a fixed flight path like airplanes. They wouldn't have anywhere to look for them.
Luo Feng naturally knew what Wu Ming was thinking, but he didn't stop him. Although they didn't obtain the Five Saints Token this time, it could still be said that it wasn't because of the battle. As long as Wu Tiancheng knew the final price, he definitely wouldn't hang him up. However, during the auction, Spirit Vulture Mountain repeatedly suffered losses from the Star Picking Sect. Furthermore, they also lost an inexplicable bet and lost 50,000 spirit stones. This was a big stain on their reputation.
If they could really kill Luo Qingfeng and Xia Ruofei and snatch the storage rings and mysterious ores, they might even obtain the prescription for the Qi-Converging Pill and the Fire Cloud Pill. It would be best if they could obtain the prescription for the Qi-Converging Pill. That would definitely be a great achievement. Even if they only managed to snatch the Flying Phoenix Ring and the mysterious ores, it would be enough to offset their previous mistakes.
Therefore, although Luo Feng's words were persuasive, his actions were actually supporting Wu Ming.
Wu Ming and Luo Feng calmly followed Xia Ruofei and Luo Qingfeng from a distance, heading towards the exit of the auction house.
However, they soon stopped because they saw Chen Xuan leading another Jindan Stage elder of the Tianyi Sect and an Aura Refining disciple from the opposite side of the passage. They were walking straight towards Xia Ruofei.
Wu Ming hurriedly stopped. He and Luo Feng glanced at each other and quietly moved closer, hoping to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Chen Xuan had a warm smile on his face as he said, "Brother Xia! Let's go! I'll send you back to the Star Picking Sect! "
Xia Ruofei didn't refuse, because this was something that Chen Xuan had personally agreed to when he borrowed the spirit stones. This could be considered another part of the "interest" that Chen Xuan had given him in addition to the quota to explore the secrets of the Five Sages Token.
When Wu Ming and Luo Feng heard this, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. They could see the disappointment in each other's eyes — if Chen Xuan and Xia Ruofei were traveling together, then they wouldn't have any hope of intercepting and killing them.
Even if they had the confidence and strength to kill them, they wouldn't dare.
This was because as long as the slightest bit of information was leaked out, they would face a devastating blow from the Tianyi Sect. Even though the Spirit Vulture Mountain was quite powerful, when faced with the Tianyi Sect that was at the peak of rage, they would definitely be exterminated.
At this time, another forthright laughter rang out, "Fellow Daoist Chen! Little Brother Xia, this old man is here! "
Wu Ming and Luo Feng took a closer look. It turned out that the Sect Leader of the Surging Waves Sect, Mu Sheng, was also walking over with Muhua and Mu Jianfei.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, did Little Brother Xia tell you everything?" Mu Sheng asked with a laugh.
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "We've already agreed."
"Haha! Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Chen this time! "Mu Sheng said happily.
"Sect Leader Mu, you're too polite!" Chen Xuan said with a faint smile, "Since everyone is here, let's set off!"
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said.
The group of people walked out of the auction house while talking and laughing, heading toward the elevator. The hotel was located in the downtown area. Although it was already night time, cultivators couldn't directly fly away from the entrance of the hotel on their swords! Therefore, they usually chose to take the elevator to the top floor and then take off from the rooftop. With some small enchantments, it was enough to hide them from the secular world.
Wu Ming and Luo Feng didn't even take a step forward. The disappointment in their eyes turned into despair.
"Uncle Feng, what should we do next?" Wu Ming asked, somewhat at a loss.
Luo Feng said with a wry smile, "What else can we do? Young Sect Leader, give up on this idea! Chen Xuan and Mu Sheng will personally escort that guy back. Even if our strength is doubled, we're still no match for them. Don't forget that there's still Luo Qingfeng. Although this guy looks weak, he's also a ruthless character! "
Wu Ming nodded and said, "Well … How about … we stay here and go to the banquet to have a look. Maybe we can find some good treasures!"
Luo Feng also didn't want to go back with his tail between his legs. If they really found some good treasures at the banquet, maybe Wu Tiancheng would be lenient and not punish them according to the mountain rules.
Thinking of this, Luo Feng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the banquet hall …"
